Interactions of linear and cross-linked polyacrylic acid with polyvinyl ether of ethyleneglycol in some aliphatic alcohols
The interaction of linear and cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAA) with polyvinyl ether of ethyleneglycol (PVEEG) has been studied in ethanol, isopropanol and their mixture. Formation of interpolymer complexes (IPC) in solutions is accompanied by aggregation of compact particles. Gels of PAA undergo shrinking in solutions of PVEEG.
